A while back I posted a recipe for Healthy Cookie Crisp Cereal and wow was the response overwhelming. It was viewed over 3,500 times in less than a month! That was the most any recipe I had put out at the time had ever been checked out. I was completely surprised and amazed that a recipe I had created had been such a hit. Clearly I’m not alone in my long standing love of cereal. To say thank you for all the love, I’ve recreated another childhood favorite, Peanut Butter Crunch Cereal. I’m calling it Peanut Butter Puff Cereal because the texture is not exactly the same. The actual process to get the texture of the store bought cereal is complicated and I’m not even sure it can be duplicated at home. None the less my version is full of peanut buttery flavor and sure to satisfy that craving.
This recipe is simple, but a little tedious with all the rolling of the balls. Just do what I did and employ help. My three old was my helper and she did such a good job(must be all that experience with play doh). Bet you can’t tell who did which!?!
If you try this recipe, let me know how it turns out! Leave a comment below or snap a pic and tag it @weelittlevegans on Instagram so I’ll be sure to see it!
